-Oh, man…I’m really going to be in big trouble now… - Naruto was running as fast as he could but the school was still too far away. – Wait…If I take the shortcut I can get there faster…but if the back gate is closed it’s going to take even more time to get to class… - he was whispering to himself and was really worried that he was going to be late.
He finally decided to take the shortcut. He turned couple of times to the right then to the left. Finally he reached the back gate but unfortunately it was closed and there was no way to get through it.
-Shit! I’m in BIG trouble now! – he got a bit annoyed and angry.
The blond turned around and headed for the front gate. It didn’t take him much time to reach it bit what he saw there scared him a bit – the upper classmen had gathered there. He was a bit nervous because they always made fun of him, pushed him around and sometimes did some weird things to him.
-Uh oh… - was all he managed to mutter before the other boys spotted him.
-Well, well…look who’s here, guys… - one of the boys called – I think we’re finally going to have some fun. – Hidan made a few steps towards the blond haired boy.
-I want to have fun! I want to have fun too! – Tobi exclaimed enthusiastically but as always he didn’t understand what Hidan meant.
-Tobi, Keep it quiet! – Sasori said a bit annoyed then looked away – I wonder why he’s still with us… - he muttered to himself then turned to Hidan – Are you sure about what you’re doing – if a teacher sees you we’re all going to be in trouble.
Those words made Naruto shiver – now he was really scared. He turned and tried to run but bumped into someone and fell on the ground.
-Where’s the fire? – Kakuzu smirked and grabbed Naruto’s hand.
-P…please let me go… - Naruto hardly mumbled – I have to go! Please leave me alone. – he tried to free his hand but Kakuzu was holding him tight.
-No way! – Hidan smirked and grabbed his other hand – We’re going to play a little first… - his smirk became wider.
-I’m not going to take part in this – I’m going home… - Sasori said coldly and headed home.
-Heh…do as you wish… - Hidan mumbled without caring then turned to Naruto and slowly began to take off the blonde’s shirt.
-Stop it! Please! – Naruto was struggling but he couldn’t set himself free – Please…stop… - he started crying.
-If you don’t stop crying we’ll do even worse things than this…-Hidan whispered into the blonde’s ear.
A shiver ran through Naruto’s body and a few tears fell down his face – he was terrified by those words and couldn’t do anything to prevent this from happening.
-Hidan…I don’t think we should do such things in a place like this – someone might see us. – Kakuzu said calmly and then took a look around – There’s still no one here but…
-You’re right… - Hidan answered and then looked down at Naruto who had lowered his head – I know just the place where we can continue this. – a big smirk appeared on Hidan’s face.
Naruto looked up at Hidan with his ocean blue eyes – bitter tears were still rolling down making the blonde’s face wet. Then he lowered hid head again and closed his eyes.
-Please…let me go…what did I ever do to you guys… - Naruto was desperate and tried once more go get out of this situation.
-If we let you go you’re going to tell someone about this and we’re going to get in big trouble – no way we’re letting you go that easily – Hidan looked down at the blond once more then turned to Kakuzu – Let’s go to my house – I think ‘that’ room’s going to be perfect for him. – a big smirk appeared on Hidan’s face again.
-Then it’s settled. – the other boy answered and grabbed Naruto tighter so that he won’t escape.
‘This is a nightmare…It has to be’ – the blond boy thought while the other two were pushing him from behind to a direction he didn’t know – ‘I’m probably asleep and having a nightmare’ – Naruto was still crying and was scared like hell – what was going to happen with him, what are they going to do to him and what did Hidan meant by ‘that room’.
-We’re here… - Hidan said a bit excited and pushed the blond boy through some kind of a gate and after it there was a big mansion.
-Is this…your house…-Naruto asked timidly when he spotted it and then lowered his head again – he felt horrible at that moment.
-Yes, it is and you’re going to stay here for a long time. – Hidan answered him and by his voice it looked like he was somehow satisfied by that.
-Wh…what… - Naruto turned around immediately and his face was paler than ever – What do you mean? – his eyes were wide open and filled with fear.
-Like I already said – if I let you go we’re going to be in big trouble! – Hidan’s smirk seemed wider at that moment which made Naruto tremble a bit. – So you’re going to stay here for quite a while.
Naruto was shocked and couldn’t move for a couple of seconds that he fell on the ground and stared blankly at it – his eyes were red but he kept crying. A moment later Hidan kneeled down near the blond boy, cupped Naruto’s chin and than raised it so that they could face each other. The silver haired boy leaned closer and the distance between their faces was less than an inch. Naruto’s eyes were even wider than before and he had frozen because he was horrified at that moment.
-That’s what I like in you most – you’re always amusing and cute. – Hidan grinned happily then straightened.  - Let’s go – I don’t have all day to just stay here and waste my time talking.
Then the silver haired boy grabbed Naruto’s right hand and pulled him up. The blond pulled his hand in attempt to free himself but once again it didn’t work – Hidan just grabbed his other hand and put them behind Naruto’s back so that he won’t be able to do anything.
-Let me go! Let me go! – Naruto started screaming and struggling with his last strength but it was pointless.
Hidan managed to snatch Naruto’s hands with one of his and put the other on the blonde’s mouth to keep him quiet than pulled him closer to him, leaning Naruto’s head on his shoulder and whispered in the younger boy’s ear:
-If you continue being like this I’ll stop being nice… - this time Hidan seemed serious.
Naruto gave up – he knew there was no point in struggling any more – it was too late now.
-Hey…Hidan – Kakuzu said calmly. – It’s getting late so I’m heading home. Don’t do anything stupid with the boy, ok? – he looked suspiciously at his friend and then turned around and went through the gate.
Hidan just stood there and acted as if he was going to behave himself but some interesting thoughts were running through his head – he was wondering what to do with the boy once they’re inside the house.
-Hey, Hidan! – a familiar voice came from the gate’s direction. – What are you doing and who….Who’s that? – Itachi looked at the blond boy standing in front of Hidan. – Naruto…Is that you?
-What the hell are you doing here, Itachi?! Can’t you see I’m a bit busy? – Hidan sounded a bit irritated.
-Well…I was walking near by and decided to come and see you…and…what do you mean by ‘a bit busy’? – Itachi looked suspiciously at the silver haired boy and then frowned. – What are you going to do with him?
Naruto stopped crying and just listened to them quietly. He didn’t dare to move but the blond somehow knew that Itachi was going to help him – he was finally going to be free and able to go home or somewhere else away from the older boys – somewhere safe.
-I was planning to play a little with him…what else… - Hidan answered quickly then turned and headed for his house still holding Naruto tightly.
But as soon as he turned someone grabbed him by his shoulder.
-You’re not going anywhere! – Itachi said firmly and then pulled him back. – Naruto is my little brother’s best friend and I won’t let you hurt him in any way! – Itachi caught Hidan’s hands and freed Naruto from the silver boy’s grip.
Naruto was finally free and he felt relieved. He looked into Itachi’s eyes and then smiled lightly.
-Thank you, Itachi san! – he said quietly and then bowed.
-Naruto kun, you don’t have to bow to me. – the raven haired boy said quietly. – Sasori kun told me that Hidan was doing something stupid again so I think you have to thank him. – Itachi smiled then looked down at Hidan. – If you don’t want any trouble with me you’d better just go home and forget about Naruto. – he let go of the silver haired boy and then approached the blonde slowly. – Naruto… - he took the boy’s hand gently and looked at his blue eyes – I’m sorry for all the trouble he caused you but please…don’t tell anyone about this. – the older boy seemed worried –I promise that no one will harm you anymore. – he hugged him tightly and put his chin on Naruto’s head.
-It’s…it’s ok…I won’t tell anyone… - the blond rested his head on the other boy’s shoulder.
Naruto closed his eyes slowly and then immediately fell asleep – he was too tired from the other day and now from all the stress that day – he just couldn’t stay awake any longer. The blond collapsed into the raven haired boy’s hands. Itachi realized what was happening and took the boy in his arms (bridal style) and then glared at Hidan.
-If you get near him again you’re going to regret it. – then he turned around and headed home with the blonde in his arms.
Hidan muttered something and then just turned around and went into the mansion.
